This is nothing new, actually. Windows form control objects allow

inputfiled = "sometext"

while in reality it is

inputfield.text = "sometext".

Oh, you mean those round brackets that are the same ones that are used
as an equivalent of "with <obj> {} "? And the same ones where the
closing one should be in the first position on the line, thus screwing
up any indentation in TS code that you have?

The () for multi-line values was by far the worst design decision in TS, IMHO.
